It is a log house built originally with a single pen, which was expanded by a frame addition later. The original log section is well-preserved, and is of fairly fine work, with squared logs joined by half-dovetail notching.[2]
It is significant as a rare surviving example of domestic log construction by the Scots-Irish/Appalachian Uplanders who settled northern Louisiana in the 1830s.[2]
